    XF-45 on the first coin........some real neat die cracks happening on that piece.

    The second piece appears low AU/high XF, but I'm a little concerned with those marks which could indicate a harsh cleaning. Then again they could be die polish marks 'cause I know 'zip' about these pieces. Just goin' by my 'gut'.......:)

    Do not think it is cleaned, pics on other specimens look the same? It has a very nice blue undertone which I cannot get with my photos.

    A coin can be harshly and improperly cleaned at some point in time only to then start to tone there afterwards. But I agree with green18, the lines on the second coin indicate an improper cleaning at some point in this coins life.

    That is most likely agreed. Did you notice something strange on the first one?
